This time, if they go with that earlier start....do it one week later, or TWO weeks after the Super Bowl. Let fans wind down and actually wake up on a Sunday morning and realize there's no football on and go "oh man" Then really pour it on with the hype.
As for Seattle.....it's just a too crowded sports market now and the SeaDragons barely snuck into public consciousness.

Disagree on the wind down. You have to keep that routine to keep the viewer attention span. Give a week off, and they'll move on to something else.

Could be where Penn plays too. But to keep costs down they need to be out of the city and that means Subaru

There are so many rumors now and Neil Straton has been all over the place. I hope they announce this week

Where Penn plays is very busy, because it's not only Penn Football, but also track and field and lacrosse, so there may be some scheduling conflicts.

Howard Balzar: Teams not set but likely ones are...

Cities not absolutely set, and things could change, but hearing Orlando, Houston, Seattle, Las Vegas won’t have teams. Still fluid.

With the Houston stadium situation, it's definitely possible neither team plays there next year
